Congrats, you will love it! Many opinions on timing of oil changes: 3K, 5K, 7K, sticking with BMW's onboard computer recs (which comes out to every 10-12K miles). BMW will tell you just change it when the computer's dash lights indicate the need for a change. Even if you following this, however, you should have the oil changed every year minimum, even if the computer does not indicate it is time.
